Prerequisites
Before generating the report:
- Complete HARA document must be in approved or published workflow state
- All hazards must have S/E/C ratings assigned (no pending ASIL values)
- Safety goals should be linked to their parent hazards
The HARA Report is located in the Documentation space under ISO 26262 HARA Report. Navigate via the Home dashboard Reports section or sidebar favorites.
Steps to Generate the Report
1. Open the HARA Report Page
Navigate to Documentation → ISO 26262 HARA Report from the sidebar or click the report link from the Home dashboard.
The report page automatically queries all hazard and safetyGoal work items from your project and renders the analysis.
2. Review ASIL Distribution Summary
At the top of the report, you’ll see the ASIL distribution statistics displayed as color-coded summary cards:
Color Legend:
- Gray (QM): Quality Management — no ASIL safety requirements
- Green (A): ASIL A — lowest integrity level
- Orange (B): ASIL B — moderate integrity
- Red (C): ASIL C — high integrity
- Purple (D): ASIL D — highest integrity level
If any hazards lack ASIL assignment, the report displays an alert: “Warning: X hazards do not have ASIL assignments. Complete HARA classification before proceeding.”Return to the HARA risksheet and complete all S/E/C ratings. 3. Understand the ASIL Determination Matrix
The report includes the normative ISO 26262-3 Table 4 ASIL matrix showing all 36 possible S×E×C combinations:
| Severity | E1 (C1/C2/C3) | E2 (C1/C2/C3) | E3 (C1/C2/C3) | E4 (C1/C2/C3) |
|---|
| S1 | QM/QM/QM | QM/QM/A | QM/A/B | A/B/C |
| S2 | QM/QM/A | QM/A/B | A/B/C | B/C/D |
| S3 | QM/A/B | A/B/C | B/C/D | C/D/D |
Find the row for your Severity rating, then locate the column group for your Exposure rating. Within that group, the three sub-columns represent C1/C2/C3 Controllability ratings.
4. Review the Hazard Register
The main section lists all hazards with their complete HARA assessment:
| ID | Operational Situation | Hazard | S | E | C | ASIL | Safety Goal |
|---|
| HAZ-12 | Highway cruise | Failure to detect obstacle | S3 | E4 | C3 | D | SG-02 |
| HAZ-15 | Urban traffic | Delayed braking activation | S2 | E3 | C2 | B | SG-03 |
- Operational situation matches your exposure assessment
- S/E/C ratings are consistent with the hazard severity
- ASIL calculation follows the matrix
- At least one safety goal is linked (for ASIL A-D hazards)
5. Review Safety Goals Section
The report lists all derived safety goals with their inherited ASIL classification:
Safety Goal: SG-02 — Ensure obstacle detection reliability
ASIL: D
Derived from: HAZ-12, HAZ-14
If your project has ASIL C or D hazards, the report displays a critical alert listing mandatory ISO 26262 activities:
- Develop comprehensive safety goals
- Implement safety mechanisms (redundancy, monitoring, fail-safe states)
- Ensure rigorous verification (100% test coverage, formal methods)
- Maintain complete bidirectional traceability to safety requirements
6. Export the Report
To generate a PDF or Word document:
- Use your browser’s Print function (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P)
- Select Save as PDF as the destination
- Adjust margins and layout as needed
- Click Save
Alternatively, use Polarion’s built-in export features for formal document control.
The report uses Polarion’s wiki page CSS styles. For best results, enable background graphics in your print settings to preserve the color-coded ASIL indicators.
Verification
You should now see:
- ✅ Complete ASIL distribution summary with percentages
- ✅ All hazards listed with S/E/C/ASIL ratings
- ✅ Safety goals linked to their parent hazards
- ✅ No incomplete assessment warnings
- ✅ High-ASIL alerts (if applicable) with required actions
Common Issues
Problem: Report shows “0 hazards found”
- Cause: No
hazard work items exist in the project or HARA document is not in the Risks space
- Solution: Verify HARA document location and that hazards were created using the correct work item type
Problem: ASIL cells show ”—” instead of QM/A/B/C/D
Problem: Safety goal count doesn’t match hazard count
- Cause: QM-rated hazards don’t require safety goals; only ASIL A-D hazards need derived safety goals
- Solution: Verify that all ASIL A-D hazards have at least one linked safety goal via the Derive Safety Goals workflow
